Lake Reflection
Double or nothing. University students didn't anticipate quite that much from the new Otto G. Richter Library completed in June. Seen here at night reflected in the Student Lake, the new
Mirrors Library
building not only provides a luxurious place to study but also qualifies as a fallout shelter. For the “inside” story flip to pages 14 and 15.
Praises Student Leaders
Stanford Predicts Promising Future
After one month in my new post I am happy to report to you that none of my first enthusiasm about the University of Miami has subsided at all. Established and developed against great odds, it has a potential which is even brighter than the Cinderella-like transformation it has undergone during the short period from a cardboard college to the day of the Richter Library.
These first few weeks I have spent in getting acquainted not only with administrators and faculty members, but with student leeders as well. I am impressed with your 1 e a d e r s’ devotion to the welfare of the University. They must surely reflect the sentiments of the wider student body. Student
enthusiasm for this university, in spite of very real problems and difficulties which face dynamic, developing institutions, inspires me greatly in my work.
During July, 1 had the pleasure of a number of conferences with student leaders. Three Hurricane staff members came to my home for cold watermelon and warm conversation, and Mrs. Stanford and 1 had dinner with three IFC leaders and their dates. Other organization leaders have conferred with me in my office. I have popped in on the Student Union several times, so there have been good opportunities to come to know students and their attitudes.
The fall semester will soon be here, when the campus will really come to life with large numbers of new and returning students. All of you will be greatly impressed, as I have been, with the new library. I hope to be able to announce
•
soon a definite date for beginning the construction on the new Student Union.
As we look forward to enjoying new physical facilities required I y the enrollment and aspiration of our university, I should like to emphasize once again the real purpose of this institution: the intellectual challenge. It waS the Elizabethan poet, Richard Lovelace, who said: “Strong walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage.” We don’t come up with a good university by exclusive preoccupation with brick and mortar, as essential as they are. The activity within the physical plant is what counts.
I hope that your summer will leave you refreshed and ready for a new term of serious study. All of you have my every good wish for a happy and successful academic year.

Ray Charles Signed For Homecoming
by LEONARD TEEL Hsmciai Niwi Etitsr
Ray Charles has been signed to play at the fall Homecoming
dance.
Charles notified the student activities office that he will perform at the Oct. 20 dance from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m.
His acceptance ended a four-month effort by the 1962 Homecoming Committee headed by Dave Christopher.
Charles' appearance in Miami will be part of his general tour which starts Oct. 18 at Louisiana State University. The next night he will be at Florida State University.
Then he will fly to Miami for the Homecoming dance, which will be held again this year at Miami Beach Convention Hall.
Last year’s crowd — biggest in Homecoming history—was about 3,400, according to Christopher. Charles is bringing his 16-piece orchestra and the Raelets, female vocalists.
The contract does not give Charles the right to cancel his engagement, explained Dr. Thurston Adams, director of student activities.
Advance ticket sales begin Oct. 8 at $4 a couple. Tickets at the door will cost a dollar more.
Shakespeare Festival Draws Record Crowd
by ELAYNE GILBERT

Summer school enrollment swelled to the highest point in 10 years with 4,700 students the first session and 3,400 students now attending classes in the second session.
Last August, only 2,800 students were coming to courses taught at UM, according to Dr. Dan Steinhoff, dean of the division of continuing studies.
Attendance at University sponsored functions has also soared. Shakespeare Festival attendance shows an increase over last year's figures.
More than 7,000 people flocked to Beaumont Lecture Hall to view the Shakespeare plays, stated Dr. Delmar Solcm, executive director of the festival.
’’We are sold out almost every weekend,” he said proudly. He is also head of UM’s drama department.
Income from the festival is up 125 per cent over previous years’ earnings, making this the best financial season.
“But our cultural and educational contribution is far more important than our financial gain. I’ve always felt there was a need for more culture in Miami,” he said.
Approximately 25,000 to 30,000 people will have heard the summer symphony “pops” concerts before the season ends.
Although the final tabulations are not in yet, the Symphony office reports that this will probably be one of their best seasons. Two of the 10 concerts remain.
Students have Hocked to weekly dances and movies held in the Student Union, according to Norman “Chink” Whitten, Union manager.
Teacher workshops have also been held here during the summer for the first time. Forty high school teachers banded together and spoke nothing but French during the first summer session.
Meanwhile many high school pupils also came for a summer band and orchestra clinic. A National Science Foundation program also brought high school students interested in science to the University.
Special Cane Flights Planned By Airlines
by BILL GREENE Harricim Staff Writar
UM students from all over the country will be able to board special UM flights to campus next month. Six major scheduled airlines are planning “Hurricane Specials” which will be designated and decorated for students exclusively.
Now in their seventh year, thet-specjals will have UM banners on the walls, and UM publications for reading on the flights. Once in Miami, the planes will be met by UM hostesses and a special band, provided by Undergraduate Student Government.
National Airlines has scheduled 14 flights, including four jets, on September 8th and 9th. These flights, mostly non-stop, will originate from New York, Newark, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington.
Eastern Airlines schedule will include non-stop specials from New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh.
Northeast Airlines will have non-stop jet flights for students in Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
Delta Airlines is planning specials from Chicago and Detroit.
Northwest Airlines will have jet flights from Chicago, Minne-apo'is, and Seattle for students.
For complete schedule information and reservations on anv of the specials students should contact the airline offices.
Once In Miami, students can
reach the campus from the airport with the Yellow Cab Company. Special arrangements have been made to carry students at j the rate of $1 a person in filled cabs.
Further information about the transportation to campus from the airport can be obtained from the USG information booth at the airport when students arrive.
Tax Cut Coming?
Parents of college students may soon be allowed to deduct up to $600 from taxable income if they are paying dollars to an accredited college.
Florida Senator George Smath-ers has put a bill before Congress which would give the deduction to the taxpayer, his wife and dependents if any attend an educational institution conferring a bachelor, master or doctor decrees. The bill includes attendance at junior colleges.
The bill was introduced in January and is awaiting action by the Senate Finance Committee.
